We finally have a plot summary for Space Jam 2, and you know what? It sounds pretty great!
Why do I sound so surprised? Well, the original was a lot of fun, but how do you get LeBron James to do it as well or better than Michael Jordan with Bugs and the Tune Squad?
The answer is: you don’t try to do what the original did and you try something similar but new, just like the new uniforms that we saw earlier this year.
Here’s the summary, which was part of a tie-in with Microsoft (see below) that was released on Monday:
In this film, basketball champion and global icon LeBron James goes on an epic adventure alongside timeless Tune Bugs Bunny. When James and his young son Dom – who dreams of being a video game developer – are trapped in a digital space by a rogue AI, James must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the AI’s digitized champions on the court: a powered-up roster of basketball stars as you’ve never seen them before.
James and Bugs promoted the new film on Instagram and the tie-in with Microsoft and Xbox, in which fans can submit their own ideas for a Space Jam: A New Legacy video game. Two winning ideas will be turned into arcade-style games and win a bunch of prizes.
